Skeleton/skin split — spike

The gating spike for the v0.23.0 wholesale extraction. The skeleton/skin cut is a per-declaration design call (structure and aesthetics are braided inside single rules), so settle it empirically on a small slice before committing to the public contract every future theme depends on.

Scope

  • Take one card-surface rune + hint + one dimension file. Split them on the correctness-not-taste criterion (skeleton = what a rune breaks without; skin = anything a different theme would plausibly want different).
  • Deliver the split via cascade layers (@layer skeleton, skin); confirm the virtual-module loader can guarantee layer order.
  • Re-skin the slice with a deliberately un-Lumina editorial look (large serif display, no footer rules, centred preambles, a different inset feel) to surface where Lumina's opinion leaks into the skeleton.
  • Probe the engine coupling: how data-surface (SPEC-094 §8) and icon-from-config would remove the rune-name lists / embedded data-URIs.

Acceptance Criteria

  • A working split of the slice under @layer skeleton, skin, with the editorial re-skin overriding via low-specificity selectors (no specificity wars, no !important).
  • A written cut-line rule (which declaration classes are skeleton vs skin) and a packaging decision (@refrakt-md/skeleton package vs. a neutral base.css export).
  • A scope estimate for the full v0.23.0 extraction (file / declaration counts, plus the data-surface + icon-config engine changes) feeding the v0.23.0 milestone.

Dependencies

  • Best run after WORK-405 (tokenized type shrinks the classification surface) and using WORK-409 for the before/after diff.
